Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 12 The Wind Rises in Nanping County!

Gu Ling tapped the sensor screen of the running wheel with her training card.

The next second, the touchscreen lit up and several buttons appeared.

There is a button to start the running wheel, as well as options for running wheel speed and time.

Gu Ling first selected the lowest speed setting, and then started the running wheel machine.

"Xian Jiu, use Lightning Flash, don't stop."

"Meow~"

Xian Jiu responded, then a white light shone from his body, and he started running on the running wheel.

After Xianjiu got used to it, Gu Ling increased the speed of the running machine by one level.

Xianjiu, who was leisurely walking on the wheel, suddenly realized that the wheel machine was going faster. After a moment of panic, he also began to accelerate.

After observing for two minutes and seeing that Xianjiu still didn't seem to be under much pressure, Gu Ling increased the level by one.

Now Xian Jiu didn't dare to be distracted and focused all his energy on running the engine.

Gu Ling was keeping track of the time with a stopwatch on her phone.

"Meow~"

When Xianjiu could no longer hold on, Gu Ling stopped the running machine.

—First time using the running machine, third gear, took 5 minutes and 23 seconds.

Gu Ling: "Take a 5-minute break, then continue."

"Meow?" Xianjiu pouted, feeling like all four of her paws were useless.

It protests!

It wants to rest longer!

Gu Ling showed Xian Jiu the paused stopwatch on her phone: "You've only run for 5 minutes, so you should rest for 5 minutes as well. If you want to rest for longer next time, Xian Jiu, you can run for a little longer."

Xian Jiu scratched her chin with her paw: "Meow?" Is that how it is?

"Yes, the same training time is exchanged for the same rest time." Gu Ling nodded without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Meow!" Xian Jiu clenched her two little paws tightly.

I understand!

To get more rest time, I'll definitely stick to it longer next time!

After a 5-minute rest, Xianjiu jumped back onto the running machine.

Gu Ling started the running machine and restarted the timer.

—The second time using the running wheel machine, third gear, took 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

After it was over, Xian Jiu was so tired that she lay on the ground with her little tongue sticking out.

Gu Ling squatted down next to Xian Jiu, massaging and relaxing Xian Jiu's four paws, and praised her, "Xian Jiu, you're amazing! You lasted two minutes longer than the first time."

"Meow!"

Hearing the Beastmaster's praise, Xian Jiu's limp tail perked up, and a smile involuntarily spread across her face.

I'm destined to be the strongest Thunder Cat of the future!

Running a mere turbine is no challenge for me!

After a 7-minute break, Xian Jiu jumped onto the runway even more proactively: "Meow~"

Hurry! Start the engine!

This cat is going to run for 10 minutes this time!

……

After two hours of training, the best record for the 9th generation was 12 minutes and 49 seconds.

The last few times all lasted around 12 minutes. Gu Ling knew that this was the current limit for Xian Jiu, so she did not let Xian Jiu break through further.

There's plenty of time in the future.

Not urgent.

Gu Ling took out cat treats from her backpack and fed them to Xian Jiu as a reward.

After a 20-minute break, Gu Ling resumed training.

This time, Gu Ling reduced the speed of the running wheel to the second gear.

The second-speed setting is generally sufficient for use in battles.

Pets like the Thunder Seal Cat don't have very good stamina, so Gu Ling plans to use the second-speed mode to improve Xian Jiu's stamina.

Long Yifei led Dian Meimei out of the voltage room and headed towards the turbine.

He had watched Dai Hao and Lu Jiuwen train, and wasn't particularly curious about them. But he couldn't help but wonder about Gu Ling, whom he had just met: He wondered if that newly hatched Thunder Seal Cat could keep up with the training.

It wasn't until Long Yifei saw Xian Jiu using the Lightning Flash on the engine, and the speed was actually adjusted to the second gear, that he was somewhat surprised.

Isn't Gu Ling pushing herself too hard? This is Lei Yin Cat, which just hatched not long ago.

But two minutes later... five minutes later... ten minutes later...

Fifteen minutes later, seeing that Xian Jiu was still handling things with ease, and that Gu Ling didn't seem to have any intention of shutting down the runner, Long Yifei's surprise turned into shock.

They actually lasted fifteen minutes?!

Is this something a newly hatched Raijin kitten could do?

Long Yifei approached Gu Ling and asked curiously, "Gu Ling, your Thunder Seal Cat's Lightning Flash skill seems to be quite proficient, unlike what a young pet should have. How did you train it?"

"I just formed a contract with Xianjiu yesterday. The staff at the base told me that Xianjiu is very lively there, so I guess it figured it out on its own." Gu Ling couldn't reveal the secret of the Beast Taming Manual, so she just made up an excuse to get by.

Long Yifei's eyes lit up slightly: "Then it seems your Xianjiu's aptitude isn't bad either... Gu Ling, how about a pet battle?"

Originally, Long Yifei had little interest in fighting Xian Jiu, who was only in his childhood.

But now that he sees that Xianjiu uses her lightning flash skill more skillfully than his electric sheep, he has developed a competitive spirit.

Gu Lingwei paused for a moment, looked at Xian Jiu who was training on the running wheel, and said, "Then let me ask Xian Jiu's opinion first."

Fighting a superhuman opponent while still a child is definitely stressful.

However, Gu Ling's side is not without its advantages.

Upon hearing about the upcoming battle, Xian Jiu immediately thought of the majestic Lei Ji Cat from last night's video, and her cat eyes lit up several degrees!

"Meow!"

This cat accepts the challenge!

The first battle marks the start of the legendary journey to become the strongest cat god!

The wind rises in Nanping County!

Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's head and whispered, "Dian Meimei has been training longer than you, so she should know a lot of skills. Don't underestimate her."

With Long Yifei by her side, Gu Ling didn't tell Xian Jiu directly what skills the electric sheep had.

Upon hearing this, Xian Jiu's excited expression subsided somewhat, and she nodded seriously.

"Do you remember the video we watched last night? How did the Beastmaster and Thunder Cat coordinate? Just do it that way." Gu Ling was a little apprehensive. Although Xian Jiu was currently behaving very obediently, it was still unknown whether Xian Jiu could calmly follow her instructions during a battle.

Xian Jiu nodded: "Meow~"

Upon hearing about the upcoming match, Dai Hao and Lu Jiuwen immediately stopped training and said they would go watch the game.

……

The battlefield is on the third floor.

Dai Hao stood at the referee's post outside the battlefield, smiling as he looked at the two: "I'll be your referee."

"Can."

"OK."

Long Yifei looked at Gu Ling opposite him and smiled confidently: "Gu Ling, my Electric Sheep has undergone several months of training. You and Thunder Seal Cat better watch out!"

"Thanks for reminding me."

In this first battle between Gu Ling and Xian Jiu, both of them were on high alert.

Gu Ling looked at the harmless electric bleater and quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.

Electric Sheep's ability is Lightning Rod, which is an ability that no Electric-type Pokémon wants to face. This is because when the strength difference between the two sides is not significant, their preferred Electric-type moves are basically rendered useless, unable to cause effective damage, and instead strengthen the opponent.

Can……

Her character, Xianjiu, happens to lack electric-type talent and currently only knows the electric-type skill "Electric Shock," so it doesn't significantly limit Xianjiu's abilities.

Long Yifei certainly didn't expect that a young Thunder Seal Cat would have almost all of its skills at the minor mastery level. Underestimating its opponent and being careless was inevitable.

If we make good use of this point, we may still have a chance to win!
